Scryed does have it's faults in story and characters like pretty much every other series, but it's still quite enjoyable. And, if you can't tell from my username and avatar, Cougar is made of EPIC and WIN. (And he's so gosh darn cute too; I'd totally have dropped Ryuho like a dirty rag for him if I'd been in Mimori's place.)
s-CRY-ed has been one of my favorites for a long time simply because of the awesome hotbloodedness of it all. If it weren't so over-the-top with kicking reason to the curb and doing the impossible for the sake of doing it, it'd just be awful.
Hmm... isn't there another anime we can describe like that? :D
I watched in Japanese because there were more voices I enjoyed, but I did miss hearing Crispin Freeman as Straight Cougar. He did the whole "I'mgoingtotalkfivemillionmilesperhourhahahahahahaaha" thing pretty well.
Also, weekly reminder of Heartcatch Precure, hooray, huzzah and so on.

I don't think it's a great show (even though I enjoyed it) so that's understandable. It's really the ridiculousness that I enjoyed rather than the story or whatever else a show would usually use to bring people in.

This matters mostly in relation to Straight Cougar, but... did you watch the English or Japanese dub? 'Cause holy cow Crispin Freeman as Cougar in the dub is amaaaaaazing~

This didn't really reflect too much on my enjoyment of s-CRY-ed, so I didn't include it in the post, but I'm really starting to despise Hisashi Hirai's character designs. Dude, make a fucking different character already. Also, make one that doesn't look like a god damn monkey in a three-quarters view. There were some points that I didn't know whether I should be listening to Kanami or tossing her a banana.

Ahh, well, in that case, it's best if y'all went on without me. I have to study for midterms for the next couple days. :(
